Yes, MRV fee receipt is required for beginning the student visa process, for scheduling an interview and for qualifying a student visa interview in USA as well. Thus, it is a mandatory document for admission and student visa process in USA.

The MRV payment for US nonimmigrant visa is USD 185, and has changed from USD 160 earlier. All nonimmigrant student visas in USA have to submit this fee as part of their student visa pplication completion. In Indian currency, USD 185 is INR 15,533 approximately (as on Sept 11, 2024). The exchange rates are dynamic, hence applicants must check the current value and then proceed with the payments. 

Once the applicant makes the MRV payment via IMPS transfer, the registered phone number of the account holder will get a 12-digit transaction number, the last 10 digits will be the MRV fee receipt number. Applicants can use this 10 digit IMPS transaction number for scheduling a visa interview also and as reference for future. Thus, ensure that the number is in place so that if at all required, MRV fee receipt can be generated online also with ease. 

The MRV fee is valid for 365 days or one year from payment of fee. Only within this timeline, applicants can schedule their US student visa interview or request for an interview waiver. Thus, applicants who have applied for admissions one year prior to the actual start date in US universities, will have ample time to prepare for their interview once they pay the MRV fee. There is enough time period between submitting the MRV fee and scheduling a student visa interview at the nearest US Embassy in the country.
